TCP/IP Sockets in C: Practical Guide for Programmers Below is the example source code from "TCP/IP Sockets in C: Practical Guide for Programmers" by Michael J. Donahoo and Kenneth L. Calvert. This book can be ordered at your favorite local bookstore or online. Official Book Website Disclaimer: The purpose of this book is to provide general information about network programming as of the book's publication date.

Example code: TCPEchoClient.c DieWithError.c TCPEchoServer.c HandleTCPClient.c UDPEchoClient.c UDPEchoServer.c SigAction.c UDPEchoServer-SIGIO.c UDPEchoClient-Timeout.c TCPEchoServer-Fork.c (without SIGCHLD) TCPEchoServer-Fork-SIGCHLD.c (with SIGCHLD) TCPEchoServer.h CreateTCPServerSocket.c AcceptTCPConnection.c TCPEchoServer-Thread.c TCPEchoServer-ForkN.c TCPEchoServer-Select.c BroadcastSender.c BroadcastReceiver.c MulticastSender.c MulticastReceiver.c ResolveName.c ResolveService.c Generally, compilation is as follows: Linux: gcc -o TCPEchoClient TCPEchoClient.c DieWithError.c Solaris: gcc -o TCPEchoClient TCPEchoClient.c DieWithError.c -lsocket -lnsl Both: Add -lpthread to both Linux and Solaris for the threads example Note for older machines (e.g., SVR4 variants such as Solaris 2.5 and before): A few more include files may be necessary. If you get compile errors about u_short, try editing the include files as follows (order matters): #include
/* for printf() and fprintf() */ #include /* for Socket data types */ #include /* for socket(), connect(), send(), and recv() */ #include /* for IP Socket data types */ #include /* for sockaddr_in and inet_addr() */ #include /* for atoi() */ #include /* for memset() */ #include /* for close() */
